For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee, Harvard educator, was reading on a New York radio station. For those who didn't hear it, this is what she said: THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES. We can continue to reap profits through the blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.
Their ignorance is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, "The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book." We now live in the information age. They havae gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts os their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barned & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if all all.
GREED is another powerful weapon of containment, Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, havae had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year, they apent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars intotal yearly income (2.22%).
Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarly a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing. They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, and they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them 'Status' or that they have achieved their dreams. They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities. With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcast destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Kike. (Tommy Hilfinger has even jeered them, saying he doesn't want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before!) they'll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from th ebusiness communities that we market them.
SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture, A'Talented Tenth' he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of hteir culture that has achieved some form of success.. However, that segments missed the fullness of his work. They didn't read that 'Talented Tenth' was then responsible to aid the Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we have.. Their selfsness dows not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endevor of substance.When they do get together, their selfshness lets their egos get in the way of their goals their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their names without making any real change community. They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaquws to he best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE(TEAM) They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under r the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms. YES, WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROLA THEM as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anthing they want, and keep thinking they are 'helping' their communities by paying dues in organizations which do little other hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don't worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, THEY DON'T READ!!!

I guess none of you people have ever lost a court case! Do you realize that winning a court case has nothing to do with being wrong or right?

As a journalist, I have been taught to question everything! And it puzzles me as to why African Americans are so quick to question Stewart but not her accusers! So I ask you, how do you know this information is false? Don't respond with a reference…
